resolutions

1. I want to spend more time worshipping God

2. I want to become less critical of others

3. I want to spend more time with my loved ones

4. I want to be healther

5.  I want to lose weight.

1.  I spend time with God everyday.  Sometime only a few moments but really I can pop in a cd and listen to gospel music instead of having the tv on, while I clean or while I am doing things on the computer. 

2.  I really do try not to be critical of people but when I think of some of the things some people do it really frustrates me.  Like people complaining about not having money to buy their groceries and yet they smoke and drink. But I was young once and did foolish things too.

3.  I know that my children have jobs and their families, and I can not literally spend time with them.  But I can call them and I can e mail them to tell them I love them.   I read once that " when a person dies all he is then is the memories he left behind."  I really want my husband, children, grandchildren, and friends to have happy memories of me.  I spend way too much time on the computer in the evenings instead of sitting with dh in the living room.  That is going to change. 

4. I see people around me getting weaker and weaker in their bodies.  People my age are so sedentary that when they want to do anything it wears them out.  It is hard for some people to even go grocery shopping and these people are my age.   In the last month or so I have neglected to exercise and I have ate like I was trying to become a sumo wrestler.  And I have recently noticed that I am getting tired, I am not sleeping as well and my joints are beginning to ache.  I don't seem to have the stamina that I used to have, even a month ago.  When the baby was here and I would get on the floor to play with him, it was hard for me to get down and then hard for me to get back up.  I want that quality of health that was mine last month, I want that energy back, and I hate that I gained so much weight back.

5. Which brings me to losing weight.  I need to lose weight for my health.  Overweight people tend to have more health issues than normal weight people.  Plus the smaller you are the more choices you have for clothes. lol 

So self impovement is my main goal.   I hope I can through example lead dh to improving himself.   I have lived with him 35 years and I hope to live a good long time with him. 


May you all have a happy new year.  May you have good health, and may this new year give you prosperity and peace.

God bless you all
